Is anyone other than the kit man still at the club when Bale played for us last?

Kane would have been for a short time before his loans.

When we played Hearts in the Europa, Bale played in the first leg and Kane played in the second. Sadly I don't think they ever played a minute together.

Ndombele needs to earn his place

Everybody keeps saying to try Ndombele as a 10 but what no one seems to realise is that's the position that covers the most ground in modern football Eriksen was always our highest KM per game in poch's best years. Ndombele is not a number 10.

Assuming we're going to play a front 3, a no.10 as well would be overkill anyway. Lo Celso is perfectly suited to a role that incorporates some of the responsibilities of a no.10 and some of the responsibilities of a CM.

Kane? Was he training with the first team then?

He scored in the season before Bale's last one.

I recall that at the start of Bale's last season (AVBs first) he said he was happy for then mostly unknown Kane to be the backup (3rd) striker in the team. I think he broke his leg or his foot almost as soon as he went out on loan.
